Cherokee Wisdom: The two wolves
I got this in an e-mail forward today.
I really liked it, I had to share.
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside of people.
He said, "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all...
One is Evil.
It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity,
guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility,
kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
